Back in the garden at last yesterday after a month of woods work, it was surprising how much we missed the warmth of a bonfire on what was a pretty cold morning. It didn't help that we stood around for a fair bit discussing where to plant various trees and shrubs. We have morphed back into planters and nurturers which feels good after a winter of felling and burning which is necessary to maintain both garden and parkland. It was also interesting to observe the subtle changes occurring slowly in hidden corners and admire the snowdrops and hellebores beautifying the February earth with their shy charm. Unfortunately the weather today is turning snowy again so our pleasure in the emerging spring may be short lived, but we've been patient this long, another couple of weeks will matter not.
